Newton-Wellesley Hospital announces that Dr. Charudutt Paranjape has recently joined the Department of General Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital as chief of general surgery and acute care surgery services, associate chair of surgical education.

Acute care surgery is a leading-edge model of health care delivery with general surgeons providing urgent assessment and treatment of surgical emergencies, even in the community hospital setting. Paranjape comes to Newton-Wellesley from the Cleveland Clinic in Akron, Ohio, where he served as the medical director of the Acute Care Surgery Service and the Heartburn Center and associate medical director of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit. He was also an associate professor of surgery at Northeastern Ohio Medical University.

“We are honored that Dr. Paranjape has joined Newton-Wellesley Hospital to lead our new acute care surgery service,” said Michael R. Jaff, Newton-Wellesley Hospital president. “His extraordinary background and expertise in critical care and minimally invasive surgery will expand upon our growing surgical capabilities and allow patients to receive the highest quality surgical care right here in their community.”
